FOR TI-Itt SUN. DR. TROY AND THE BRITISH CRITIC. MR. EDITOR,-4( has appeared tai the friends of oni Con oitotion in Church and State a most in d tnt aul reprehensible circumstance, that the Roman Catholics of the Empire, while they are endeavonting to obtain the gratification of their most ambitions wishes, through the concessions of their Protestant brett,ren, have never had the 'prudence or the decency to ph.tain from the most irritating attacks 'against th,, s e, 'brethren. In Ireland, particularly, they have indolged themselves in the republication of - the works ‘vhich are known to be most atro riously hostile to the Protestant Cause. Works, in their opinion, pejhaps, conchisive and unan swerable ; but which, having been often answer 'Rd and refuted, to the satisfaction of Prjtestant Leaders, can only now he brought forward again for the purpose of inflaming the one party and insulting the other. One of these works, already pointed out by you for its offensiveness, i s " Ward's Errata of the Protestant Bible ;" production of the 16th Century, and althost,for gotten, till reproduced by a printer of the name of Coyne, at Dublin, under the warm and zealous patronage of the whole Roman Catholic Interest -of Ireland. This was only part of a series of simi larpnblications intended to be brought forward, with the same conciliatory and :fraternal deign.— Another link in the. chain is the Rhenzish Testa ment, with its Preface and Notes; in which the mo,t odious sentences of condenination and re probation are liberally dealt out against the faith and doctrines of P r ot es tants... • This publication thus sent forth, was with just severity pointed out in that excellent and most constitutional publication, the British Critic for September 1817; .in which it was, with great reason, urged as a thing peculiarly offensive, not Qtay that such a work 'should be republished at this juncture, but still more that it should appear under the sanction 'and with the approbation of Dr. Troy, a Bishop of great power and estima- tion iu Ireland, and the no,mitial or titular pos sessor of one of its most exalted Sees. This volt striking and well-merited remonstrance prodt►cetl a very singular effect, namely, a disavowal and disapprobation of the work in question from Dr. Troy hiMself ; the circumstances of which are 'SO remarkable, that I must beg you to lay them be fore your Readers, in the words of the soi-disant Bishop himsilf ; with the observations sub joined to his letter in the British Critic for Feb ruary 1.818: " DECLARATION OF DR TROY o. " Having seen a new edition of the Rhemish Testament, Kith Annotations, published by Coyne, Dublin, and Keating, &c. London, 181 G, sa,l to he revised., corrected, and improv ed by' me, I think it necessary to declare, that I never ap proved, nor meant to approve, of any edition of the Old or New Testament, which was not entirely conformable, as well in the notes as in the text, to that which was edited by 11. Cross, Dublin, 1791, containing the usual and...prescribed formula of Tiny approbation, and which has served as an ex emplar to the several editions that have. since been published with my sanction. " As in the said new notes - Vary essentially front those of the last•mentioned editions, which exclusively I have sanctioned for publication, I should think Thai emustance atone fully saliTeient to induce me to withhold every Lind of approbation from it; but having read, and-m. 4, for, the first tone, cousidet ed these notes, I not only do nit satiftion tlietu, but solemnly declare,.that 1 utterly reject newt generally, as harsh and irritating in expression, sonic of theft as false and absurd in' reasoning, and many of them as uncharitable in Sentiment. They further appear to counte nance opinions and doctrines, which, in common with the other Rojnan Catholics of the Empire, I have solemnly dis claimed upon oat h. Uouterthese circumstances, and with these impressions on toy mind, I feel it an imperious duty to admonish that poi-tion of the Catholic Body which is entrusted to my-charge, of 'the' danger of reading. or paying .any attention to the notes or enthments of said new edition of the Testament ; ana I -enjoin the Roman Catholic Clergy of this Diocese to dist:storage and prevent, by every means in their power, the circulation, amongst Catholics, of a'work trusting to lead the faithful astray, and much better fitted to engender and pro mote, ainswg Ghristiansi hostility, bitterness and strife, than (what should.be the object of every such production) to cul tivate the genuine spirit. of the Gospel—that is, the spirit of meekness,,eharity and peace. " Dtibliu, - 14th Oct. 1817. J. T. TROY.' We are happy t, find that the opinion.of Dr. Troy so exactly coincides with ours. We cannot indeed have the vattity to suppose that any observations Of ours could bars sufficient weight with Dr. Troy to produce from his high an thority so explicit, unequivocal, and waim disavowal of the offensive volume. Yet it will certainly appear, that some days before this declaration was published a t be number of the British Critic, iii which the anitnadvosions on the Rheruish Testament were contained, had found its way into the hands of Dr: Troy. It is certainly, however, a circumstance worthy of remark, that from the day-of its publication, to the 24th of October,lBl7,t he - book should have been entirely WI npticed by• Dr. Troy, or any other member of the Catholic hierarchy. The volume now lies before us, bearing in its title-page the date of MG, making an interval of a year between the pub- Lent and the disavowal. But there i•ra circtunstauce still more extraordinary, to which we would call the attention of the public. The volume, though it assumes an udiform ap pearance, and hears the date of appeared originally iu numhers.• We - have now lying before us, Number X. of the -tidy Caerone Bible, patronized be ail the Catholic Bishops,. and actually containing theishole 'Preface, in width we have already - sliewn so much objectionable matter to exist, and promising that in future numbers - the-whole of tbe.Rltentish notes should also- appear. Thus then, from lala to ISI7, during a period of finer !rears, was this Bible in ell - ciliation, wit houaany.animadversion on the part of Dr. Troy. Now in the title-page to this number, we find the name of Dr.. Troy, not only among the general supporters of the work, but- as the peculiar patron and protector of the publication. " By permission of .the most Rev. Dr. Troy, this work is carefully revising by the Rev. P. A. Walsh, . " Now.we are all well acquainted with the strict eccle siastical discipline which the. Catholic hierarchy in Ireland , evcroise over, their dioceses, and we know that with respect to religious hooks their superintendence is peculiarly active and rigid. We really know not in what light we can put tile question.- Shall we suppose the affairs of his diocese to be 'so far neglected by Dr. Troy, as that be should be ignorant of the nature and tendency of a BiblA with annotations, Inc the , publication of which its editor professed that he- had the sanction of his diocesan ? Can we again suppose, tikat Dr. Troy is sir little acquainted with the .theology of his Chnrch, as only since last September "to breve rend, and now, for the first time emnsiilered" thea very celebrated mites upon the Rheniipb:Testaluent.? We helievet that we shall pay a merited complimensao the Tituiar Archbishop of Dublin, in which his clergy and laity-will cordially join us, in saying that there is no Cttholic prelate more active in the drabs of his diocese, or' more deeply versed in -the theology of his Church, than Dr. Troy. Nor was the publication itself, either front its.pri vacy,,or from its a ill success,' below'bis notice. We find an advertisenteot attached ti the . number befOro•us, in'which the la ropriet4; informs the public, that:sincethe work 'com menced printing, two thousand more subscribers had been added to the original number, and that therefore he was under the necessity of havi ng all the numbers from!. to X. reprinted. 'ibis will give the Oldie sours tuition of the magnitude of the work, and of its extended circulation. It is extraordinary indeed that any religious pnblication should appear in the diacese'of Dr. Troy Without his previous examination • it is niore, y eatraordinary still, that any Catholic priest shon1:1 have forged the sanction of sod) a diocesan, and it is the'Most traerdinai y of all, that Dr. Troy "should suffer this forgery to he eh cuiated through Ireland for four years, without entering • any protest; not only against the forgery, but against the opinions which that forgery was designed to recommend. " Not many days, however, after this protest of Dr. Troy E. Pu4lisilud is the Dublin Corrupsitclent Oct. 27, 1517,j was issued, a 'letter appeared from Mr. Coyne, of Parliament street, Dublin, the puhlisher of the Bible in question. As this is rather a. curious document,' we shall transcribe it from the same numiter of the Dublin Correspondent - which con tained the pt (A est of Dr. Troy. It is as follows: TO HIS GRACE THE MOST REV. DR. TROT. " Parliament-street, Oct. 2fi,_1817.. " e Most I-lonOnred Lord,—lt is with pain and difficulty that. I am obliged to co n trovert, for a Moment; any stateMent cum; from your Grace; hut the character which I :have. earned and maiutairred these fifteen si•ars, unsullied, in the opinions of the Catholic Clergy and Hierarchy of Ireland, as, the only Publisher and Bookseller in the kingdom of works exclusively Catholic, pots me under the - inilispens i able ne cessity of addressing your Grace' in public. The declaration which your Grace firs published leaves no alternative, but that of either subinijting to the imputations which it fastens upon me, or of gialog, as I:now do, a siitip'e sthtenient of facts, for the i troi hrof which I appeal to your Grace's can dour,—and which shall. I trust, substantially remove the itn- . presidia' that sour Grace's Deolaration is calculated to pro duce no the public mind with regard to me. " ' On Monday, the :13th inst. your Goace sent me a, message by your servant, ii•ipiesting to see me at Cavendish row, at the hour tif two o'clock. I had scarcely entered your Grace's apartment, when - the Very Reverend Dr. Hamill, your Grace's Vicar-General, and the Reverend Mr. Kenny, of Clongowes College, appeared. Your Grace then produced and read a paper, purporting to be an extract from the British Critic, and containing animadversions on the notes of a late Edition of the Catholic -Bible, beating, in the title page the apt ,nation of your Grac •. Youaben observed, ' l ' that you were sure I had no bad intention in putting - your Grace's name to the work, but that very bad cooSroatences had fol lowed; that finding its way-into England, it had armed our enemies against us, and this at a time when we were seeking Emancipation.' Upon these remarks, I asked, ' Did not your Grace approve and sanction the pablicatiou of a Bible by a Mr. M`Namara, of Cork ?' Your Grace replied, ' I did.' I then asked,- Did not your Grace depute the - Rev. P. A• Walsh, of Denmark-street chapel, to . revise, sin met, and ap prove, for-publication, - in your Grace's name, the said Bible eft 111•Nanirara ?' Yonr Grace answered, did.' Then, my Lord,' said I, ' that is the Bible now in your hand.' I ntver authorised,' replied your Grace, the Rev. Mr. Walsh to approve a Bible Stith the Ithecuish Notes.' t Ot any pri vate understanding,' said I, between your Grace aiid Mr. Walsh, I know itothiug; but this 1 know, that Mr. Walsh is accountable for.your•Grace's approbation, which is-now in the title-page.' But,' said your Grace, are not you the per suit who published this bears yOUrbatne. ?" No, my Lord,' said I ; ' lam neither the printer DA publisher ; and I shall now relate to your Grace how it conies to hear n:y name :—NPNatnara, the Publisher of the Bible to which your Grace gave yobr sanction, became a bankrupt before the work was completed. Mr. John Cumming, of Omuta-quay, Assighee to the Bankrupt, purchased the unfinished part; Mid. to cover his own losses, resolved upon perfecting the Publica tion. Having gilled upon, and requested of me, to allow him to put my name to the work, I refused, except Oa - the'Collth tion that the Clergyman, deputed by your Grace, continued to correct the uiltitiishn part. This I did, without any in terest whatever in the transaction. Mr. Cottoning accord ingly applied to the Rev. Mr.- Walsh, to Whom he paid 201. on ciimpleting the revision of the work, and took his receipt for the amount. When I 'had finished this narrative, your Grate, in the presence of Doctor Hamill, and the Rev. Mr. Kenny, acquitted me, in the most unequivocal -terms, of having haul any thing - to du with the publication. I then remarked, that your Grace having in different conversations disclaimed your approbation ; arid certain individuals having its consequence denounced me as the forger of it, I should, in my own de fence, publish the whole transaction ; upon which your Grace pkomised me to take every opportunity of disabusing those to whom you had spoken on the subject. For the truth of what I - have now related, touching the interview of Monday the 13th instant, I appeal to your Grace, to Doctor Hamill,,and to the Iter. Mr. Kenny: " Did I not afterwards send your Grace the Numbers of this said Rhemish Testament, on the toYers of which are printed these words :-•••' Now publishing by M'NaMara, the Catholic Bible- elegant, copious, and instructive Notes or Annotations Of the newish Testament-will to. inserted _of his Grace, -Dr. T.. Troy, Catholic Lord Primate oflreland, this work is carefully revising, by the Rev. P. A. Wald], Den mark -street, Dublin. Printed by Cumming?—Moreover, dirt I not accompany these Numbers with a letter, call ing on your Gr-we to make good your promise of clear ing my character filial the imputationi it bad lain uraer, through your Grace's misconception of the facts ? This' lei ter, my Lord, I-suppress, from the sane motives of delicacy whicb have kept die silent, until your Grace's declaration forced nie tints to state' the facts : nor shall Ladd one single cionment, 'hut leave the public to draw their own con •ciusions. l'am, most honoured Lord, your Grace's very bumble in and most obedient se'vant, "' RICHARD COYNE.' " From this letter of the bookseller, it would appear that Dr. Troy hail actual y given his sanction to' the Bible pub lished by NPNamara, of Cork; that Dr. Troy deputed Mr. Walsh to re%‘i,e, correct, and approve it in his name; and we bare shewu that in the title-page of the number published in 1813, the Ithemish Notes were promised, and that in its body the Ithemish Preface was actually printed. It Would appear that upon these circumstances being represented-to Or. Troy, he fully acquitted Coyne 'on - the lath of October, but that after such acquittal, by his subsequent,protest of the 24th of October, be passed upon hint the severest censure. It would also appear, that Dr. Troy allows on the .13th, that he had sanctioned and approved of I hc.edition in question, but that on the 24th, he utterly denies ever having given ariy such sane. tion or approbation. Our readers are in full possession of the-evidence and the documents, and we shall leave it to them to determine upon the merits of the ease. We have not heard that Dr. Troy has published any rejoinder to Mr. Coyne, which may be calcu lated to do away the impression which his letter uiay eSaite.— Should any such document come into our hands, in justice to Dr. Troy we shall certainly give it publicity. As the circum slances of the ease now Shim!, the letter of Mr. Coyne remains nueontradieted. The bookseller indeed appears to feel that his character as an honest man is at stake, and is desirous of defending it to the utmost of his power. It is not a slight cause that would induce the sole Bookseller and PUblisher of works exclusively Catholic, to fly in the face of the Titular Primate of Ireland, and that primate Dr. Troy. • • " Such are the circumstances attending the protest of Dr. Trov. It was, iodeed, rather unfortunate that the volume itself ' found its way into E . ngland,' as it has certainly told a tale, which, for the sake of the Catholic hierarchy, would bet ter have been suppressed. Of the inflammatory tendency of the Notes in question, no one who has-but cast his eye over their contents, can for a moment doubt. Yet Dr. Troy, though he does not deny that he has react them before, as serts, that be has now only for the first time considered than. Our reader's; who reinember the specimens which we gave, • will be probably of opinion, that-they required very little con sideration either to understand, or to reprolve their ten dency. Little as we akrprove of a baSty and rash determi nation, there are cases in which we should still less apPiove of a cool and deliberate consideration.' " As our feelings are not so much alive as those of the poor BOokseller,.and as we are unwilling to make any obser variOn which May be considered disrespectful, upon the con duct of Dr. Troy, we shall not enter any farther into the cir cumstances attending the foregoing transaction. It is suf ficient for us, that after four years circulation of the offensive volume, throughout the whole of Ireland, Dr. Troy\ thinks proper at last to enter his protest against its contents. It mast certainly he allowed, that Dr. Troy has shown a large Share of liberality in meeting so readily the opinions of the times, and in dispatching his pastoral disavowal so speedily upon the heels of public condemnation. " :ouch as - we respect Dr. Troy, we must confess, that upon the - subject of recantation, his 'opinions and ours do not en tirely coinoide. If we were convinced that we had formed an impriper judgment, or maintained an erroneous ` principle, we would readily retract our Words and frankly disavow our error. But we would not therefore disown in one place the opinions which we maintain in another. Dr. Troy has en tered a strong protest against the doctrines contained in the Notes of the Rhemish Bible, but will he enter - a similar pro test against those General Councils in which rue self- same sentiments are maintained ? What does Dr. Troy himself say, in the Second Edition of his own Pastoral Instruc tions ?. . We wish that Protestants and others may judge of our civil and religious principles by our Catechism, by our Books of Devotion-an:l Religious Instruction, by the Pastoral Letters of ()Lir BMus, by the Dogmatical Constitutions of Popes, by the Doctrinal Decisions of our General Councils', and by our gniform conlinct.'—P % 103. " X.nd again, " ' It is likersiSe an article of Catholic faith, 'That the Church 'Of Christ is infallible in her .Drictrinal Decisions and Canons, on points of faith and morals, because he _promised to be with her to the end of the w or ld. C a th o li cs , therefore, are obliged to adhere implicitly to such Decrees and Canons of - the-Church assembled in General Council, and confirmed by the Pope, as to rules of Lith ; they are ,also.ohliied in like manner to submit to atntilar decisions and decrees of the rope, when expressly or tacitly . assented 'to, or not dissented from, by the majority of the Bihopsrepresenting and govern ing the Churchf dispersed. On these points, all Catholics are agreed, as on immutable attic!es'of their'faith.' " Now, if it shall appear, that. in these very Councils, which Dr. Troy has thus declared , to be infallible, doctrines are to he found of the very same tendency and spirit with those which we produced from the Rhenish testament, Dr. Troy might have saved himself the trouble of sending forth, ex cut hedret, so solemn a protest. We do not conceive that Dr Troy will publicly disavo‘t the - doctrines of any General Council, especially of the Fourth Lateran. , Now,_ as he has desired that Protestants will ' judge of the principles of the ROMA") Catholics from the doctrinal decisitins of their Gene ral Councils,' and as the Fourth Lateran is one of the most esteemed among them, we shall draw the attention of our readers to the third chapter of this celebrated Council, that they may judge of the opinions of pr. Troy and" his Church, by the criterion which he himself has afforded them." Here the British Critic very properly inserts the actual words of .the fourth Lateran Council, in the original Latin ; but as the original may be referred to in that place, I will supply von with an exact translation tor the benefit of such readers as May not be competent to perceive all the force of the Latin expressions ; P rom the Decrees of the 4th Lateran Council. " But let the'secular powers, whatever be,the offices that they hold, be admonished and intldted, and, if necessary, by ecclesiastical censure compelled, as, they would be reputed and held faithful, to take a public oath for the defence of the faith; that they will honestly, and with all their power, study to EXTERMINATE all those who arc by, the Church counted heretics, from all the countries subject to their ju risdiction : so that,whenever any person is appointed to any authority, whether spiritual.or temporal, lie may be, obliged td establish this determination by oath. " But, if any temporal Lord, being required and admo nished by , the Church, shall neglect to purge his territories from this filth of heresy, let him be excommunicated by the Metropolitan and the other co-provinclat Bishops. And if he contemptuonsly refus,s to make satisfaction within, the year, let it he made known to the Chief Ponta, thrv, with out. delay, - H e nu ~y pronounce the vas,sols' of thai laird ab solved .from !heir fidelity; ana 2,my country.to he oc cupied by Catholics, who, fearing exteratittated the herelicS, may pOssess the Land wit:twat a!! tontratrrtion, and may preserreit in parity offaith: preserving, however, - the right of the paramount Lord, on this condition, that he himself shall interpose no obstacle, 'nor raise any imp - ediment,: Citis;!--ring nevertheless the same rule with respect to those who have no superior Leads. " BUt thoSe Catholics, who, taltinf , the badge of the Cross, have set about the ex m teriztation of " heretics, shall rejoice in the same indulgence, and he protected with the same privi lege as is granted to those who go to the relief of the 1. - 19ly Land. " Furthermore we decree that' believers, who are receivers, defenders, or supporters of heretics, are subject to the sett-, tense of excommunication; firmly decreeing that, if any such 'person be marked for excommunication,if he cOntempfuously neglect to mate satisfaction within a year, he shall thence fOrth be legally infamous, and not admisSible to any public offices or counsels, nor to' elect any person for such offices, tror to give testimony in any cause. Let hiMbe also intesta ble, so that he can neither have the power of 'making any will, nor of succeeding . to any inheritance. Furthermore, let no one benccountable to him on nuy tttisiness but he to every one. If also it happen that he is made ajidge, let his sentence have no force, nor let any causes be submitted to his bearing. If be he an advocate, let him not be permitted to have a client. Kau attorney, let the instruments drawn by him be null and void, and' be involved in the same con demnation with their author. And in all similar cases we commandithesamexule to be observed. If he be a clerk, let him he deposed from every employ and benefice, tltat, as the fault in him is greater, so the visitation of it may be the more severe. _ But if any persons contemptuously refuse to avoid such offenders when denounce' by the Church, let them be urged by the sentence of excommunication, till they make an ade quate satisfaction. To such pestilent persons let no clerks administer the sacraments of the Church, .neither presuming to admit them to Christian burial, nor to receive their alms and oblations." _ _ _ _ [To be conclutted on,Monday.] BOXING. THE FIGHT BETWEEN NEATE AND OLIVER. The battle between Wrn. Neale and Thomas Oliver took place yesterday; A spacious ring was 'first formed in Bulatrode Park, Bucks, on a beau tiful eminence, but the Magistrates interfered, and the cavalcade hurried off to Mill-end, over a rough road of many miles, where the baffle was fought. Betting was 11 to 8 upon Neate.— Seconds, Cribb and Belcher, for their country man ; and Jones and Clark, fOr Oliver. • Round 1. After some feints to measure tactics, Neate, in bitting short, was returned Nam slightly, and he slew out right hand, which floored Oliver by a blow on the throat. 2. Both men hit short, and in a confused meeting Neate went down by an overbalance. 3. Neale produced first blood from the back of his neck.—, Oliver placed a smart body blow upon his ribs and broke ground,. anti Neate Missed a tremendous right-handed lunge. A rally followed, in which much devil was shewn, but Oliver's _science gave him the best, although he was well hit. Neate *as knocked down-6 to 4 on Oliver. 4. Oliver, primed upon his 'nettle, commenced a rally, but the men overhit themselves and both down. 5. A round of seven nilnufei took place, butit was occu pied in cautious manmuvres, Oliver hitting► without the force of the body with it, seemingly not to have a repetition of the right-handed taste in the; first round. They exchanged frequent hits and separated, and in rallying Neate went down. 6. Detidedly in favonr of Oliver, who planted one; two, hits with much gaiety, and floored his adversary, who had retreated to the ropes-- . -" 2 arid 3tol un Oliver. 7. Oliver bled from the mouth, and a manly round was fought, rather in favour of Ntate, who cut Oliver severely upon the chin. After a ruflianing rally both went down. S. Oliver steadied himself, and Neate made play at him; and floored him by a hear) , hit upon the forehead, which produced a stream of claret-6 to 4on Neale. 9. Neate slipped, in making play. 10. A severe hitting round, in favour of Oliver, who closed with his adversary and gained the fall. 11. A bloody round, in a strong trial of courage, and Neate had none the worst of it, although he got .pinked about the nob, and there were strong symptoms of the Chancery suit. Both hit themselves tired, and both down. 12. Oliver she Wed weakness, and bad the worst of the round, which brought betting even 13. A severe rallying round, and Neate was hit down-6 to 4on Oliver. . _ 14. Neate had rather the best in rallying; but he was thrown. These sports were not over until - dusk, twenty 7 three miles from Londim. Oliver brought the betting to ten to ,one in his favour, in the 19th round ; but in the subsequent round Neate caught his adversary a flush hit on' the jaw, which drop ped as if a pistol ball bad hit him, and the fight was supposed to be ended. Oliver, however, like a true English bull dog, staggered up to his ad versar•y in the next round, and was floored again, bleeding from the ears. lie partially recovered, but in the 29th and 30th rounds, he wa-. senseless with his adversary's right hand, and be could not be brought up again. The battle lasted one hour and three minutes, and it was a real game one. Both were hideously hit, and Neate's jaw had an ornamental screw. West Country Dick, was beat in 10 minutes by Hudson. S. Davis, Neate's cousin, beat Belasco, the Jcw, with much gallantry, in 14 minutes. A novelty presented itself on the ground, in a splendid barouche and four, in which were two ladies, who viewed the fight with much attention. COAL MARKET, July 10. Ships at Market. . Ships sold.
